Who we are
Raya Sunshine Wellness Retreat is a peaceful countryside escape in rural France, created for rest, relaxation and reconnection with nature.
Set within the grounds of a renovated former family home near the village of Luchapt, the retreat offers a calm and natural setting where guests can slow down and fully unwind. While Soraya and Steve are one site if needed, guests can enjoy complete privacy throughout their stay.
The experience
Guests have full access to a range of wellness facilities designed to help the body and mind reset, including a wood-fired sauna and hot tub, saltwater swimming pool, cold plunge and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Optional treatments such as massage therapy, yoga, breathwork and fascia release are also available, allowing each stay to be tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet weekend away or time to fully recharge, the retreat offers a space to step back from daily life and reconnect with yourself.
Meet your hosts
After relocating to France over 20 years ago, Soraya and Steve created Raya Sunshine Wellness Retreat with a simple goal - to offer a space where people can rest deeply and return home feeling restored.
With over 30 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, Soraya brings a wide range of knowledge to the retreat. She is trained in yoga, herbalism, fascia work, massage therapy, aromatherapy, breathwork and meditation.
Her approach is centred around creating a nurturing environment where guests can feel supported, relaxed and more connected to themselves.
The location
Luchapt is a small peaceful village in the beautiful Vienne countryside of southwest France, known for its peaceful landscapes, walking routes and traditional French charm.
The surrounding area offers opportunities for nature walks, cycling and exploring nearby towns, making it the perfect setting for a slower, more mindful escape.
